Dream a Little Dream
I have a lot of dreams, and I am one of those lucky few that actually manages to remember quite a lot of them.
The dream I had last night was so funny that I just wanted to blog about it so that I don't end up forgetting it. I'm sure it will be funny only to me and possibly to some of my coworkers, but I don't care.
In the dream...
I was getting married. I can only assume the identity of the groom since he neither made an appearance nor was he mentioned by name. But this dream wasn't about the wedding, it was about the bridal shower. The bridal shower thrown by my co-workers Jonathan and David. Now, Jonathan and David are both really fun guys and completely straight. So the idea of them throwing a bridal shower is that much more hilarious. David runs triathalons and Jonathan sits around smoking pipes and discussing the virtues of Lord of the Rings and Halo.
So, naturally, this bridal shower took place in a mountain cabin. On the side of a very steep, rocky, tree-crowded mountain. My knee was bothering me (which it really has been--I'm in Physical Therapy now), so David picked me up and carried me up the mountain to the cabin. David may be a triathlete, but he's much, much (MUCH) smaller than me.
We arrived at the front door of the small log cabin and David set me down. I reached for the doorknob, but Jonathan suddenly yelled, "Watch out for the snakes!" and pointed to the porch. Someone had strung together a row of hacky sacks and left them on the porch. Someone else was hidden and pulling on the string so that the row of hacky sacks moved like a snake. I knew it was completely fake, but I also knew that Jonathan and David would be devastated if they didn't scare me with the fake snake, so I pretended to be completely terrified.
Another co-worker (also off-camera) started throwing single hacky sacks around the "snake" and Jonathan and David started screaming at me to watch out for the "bugs" too!
I couldn't help it. I finally started laughing, and then Jonathan and David and all of my co-workers started laughing too. The rest of the crew came out from behind trees, boulders and the back of the cabin, so we turned to go inside. I reached for the knob and suddenly...
I jerked awake with the worst leg cramp of my entire life!

What a bizarre dream! I have wild dreams almost every night, and I try to write them down now because they're so crazy.
ReplyDeleteI love the hacky sac snake. hehe

ReplyDeleteWacky dreams are cool, even if others don't giggle along with you. Hacky sack snakes and bugs? LOL! At least they were ceative hosts in the dream, right? One day soon, you'll be blogging about finding your work desk full of hacky sacks. I can see it now.
ReplyDeleteOh man, you are sooo funny!
ReplyDeleteWhat's with the hacky sack obsession? That is so random! I'm going to get out my dream analysis book and get to the bottom of all this.....
ReplyDeleteWhenever someone tells me about their strange dreams, I tell them to go to freakydreams.com. It's a website that will analyze dreams. (Well, it picks out key words and tells you what they mean in your dream.)
ReplyDeleteAwesome dream, though. I wish I remembered my dreams.
I think this dream means that... you have a hurt knee!
ReplyDeleteThat is really funny...and really odd... :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my blog!
